Flanked by the Napo River (a tributary of the Amazon River), the Block 43 oil extraction zone is a large oil field located in Ecuadorian Amazon, in the eastern part of the province of Orellana, to the west of Ecuador.
This project has been developed using the most advanced technology and environmental measures, minimising the environmental impact on the Amazon ecosystem; this includes directional and horizontal drilling, which make it possible to use a smaller drilling surface by placing several wells on the same platform.
With the aim of contributing to sustainable development, HIMOINSA, through Energy Solutions, has designed a power plant powered by wellhead gas, with 5MW (COP), integrated with the other diesel power plants.
